Discipline Priest Healing Mythic+ Tips — 12.0.5
In this guide, you will find tips and advice to tackle Mythic+ dungeons with your Discipline Priest in World of Warcraft — 12.0.5.
Discipline Priest in Mythic+
If you are unfamiliar with Mythic+ and its associated general mechanics, you can read more about it on our Midnight Mythic+ page below, or check out our Mythic+ Tier List if you're curious about the current Mythic+ Meta!
Mythic+ Rotation Tips
Regardless if you are playing
Oracle or
Voidweaver,
your primary rotation will involve around the usage of
Shadow Word: Death
as your primary output button, even outside of execute range. The raw damage of
the spell itself, the damage from
Expiation (triggered 3 times for full
value per cast via
Death's Torment), and the
Inescapable Torment
damage from our various pets provides this spell an incredible amount of
output potential.
Additionally, our new Apex Talent,
Void Shield, is incredibly
powerful for its raw shielding amount; the fact that it applies 3
Atonements at once; and the reflect portion from
Master the Darkness.
Midnight Mythic Plus Talent Builds for Discipline Priest
Oracle Mythic+ Build for Discipline Priest
This build is your primary build for Mythic+ content. This build focuses on
pushing
Atonement healing in the form of the
Expiation
and
Inescapable Torment pet package. This build also brings
solid
Void Shield strength via running the
Eternal Barrier
and
Inner Focus path. Additionally, as all of your
Penance
casts with this build are against allies, this build brings strong
single target healing throughput.
Be sure to make use of the 'Export Talents' button to import the build directly into your game!
Voidweaver Mythic+ Build for Discipline Priest
This build is an alternative build for Mythic+ content. Providing a
strong amount of output both with every
Shadow Word: Death
cast as well as your
Entropic Rift windows, this build
provides consistently solid Atonement healing options at the cost of weaker
single target healing output.
Be sure to make use of the 'Export Talents' button to import the build directly into your game!
Mythic+ Utility for Discipline Priest in Midnight Season 1
This section talks mostly about the uses of different spells. For in-depth explanations of all Priest Abilities and Talents, including these, check out our Spells page.
Utility of Discipline Priest in Midnight
Interrupts, Stuns, and Stops
Discipline Priest does not have access to an interrupt ability as is the cast for most healers.
Psychic Scream gives us the capability to fear a
group of enemies. This is our only form of AoE crowd control, so utilizing it
to interrupt or disrupt large groups of enemies makes it immensely valuable.
Shackle Horror provides a potential single target CC.
Always be on the lookout for Undead/Aberration enemies to utilize this crowd
control ability.
Dominate Mind grant us to capability to control an enemy for a
short period. In most cases, this does not provide significant value, but there
have been times in the past where dungeon or raid enemies had extremely
powerful spells we could cast by utilizing these abilities.
Other Utility
Dispel Magic allows us to dispel
buffs and effects off of enemy targets. This can be valuable in many
situations where the buffs on various enemies can make them either
significantly more threatening via damage increases or a lot harder to kill
via damage reductions.
Improved Purify alters our default magic dispel to also remove
Disease effects. How useful this is heavily relies on the content you are
doing, but in situations where there are disease effects being applied to
allies, this utility can have immense value.
Mass Dispel may be one of our most powerful pieces of utility. The
ability to remove magic debuffs from an entire group of allies or from a
group of enemies with a single cast is immensely powerful. Many mechanics
in both dungeons and raids have been trivialized by this spell over the
years, and it will likely remain to do so in the future.
Power Infusion is an immensely powerful spell available to us
in our talent tree. This ability allows us to provide a significant haste
buff to a single player on a two-minute cooldown, most often used on an
ally DPS player, especially when considering
Twins of the Sun Priestess.
Power Word: Fortitude, while not the most interesting piece of
utility, is very valuable in many situations. Keep this buff active
on your group at all times.

Gearing for Mythic+
The primary difference you may see between Discipline Priests gearing for Raid content versus Mythic Plus content is that, often times, Discipline players may look towards prioritizing Versatility a bit more as a secondary stat due to the damage reduction provided.
This does come at the cost of some HPS as Versatility is our worst stat for actual healing contribution. This is something that is primarily only relevant for very high level keys and not something we recommend to be copied in the vast majority of cases.
